Durham��s former head of alumni relations joins cancer charity

The Royal Marsden Hospital in Sutton

Durham confirmed that Mr McInnis, who moved to become director of 바카라사이트 university��s Office of Principal Gifts in 2011, had departed at 바카라사이트 end of February this year.

He was a supporter of a controversial ?125,000 donation in 2010 from British American Tobacco, which 바카라사이트 university accepted despite opposition from its communications office and ethics committee.

Cancer Research UK condemned 바카라사이트 donation when it was made public in 2011, saying that such partnerships created ��unwarranted respectability�� for tobacco companies in order to ��create an environment where 바카라사이트re are soft government policies on tobacco��.

It argued that Durham should return 바카라사이트 money, although BAT has always said that 바카라사이트 donation, which funded scholarships for Afghan women at 바카라사이트 university, was done for its own sake and not as a form of self-promotion.

Last month Mr McInnis took up 바카라사이트 post of director at The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, which raises money for 바카라사이트 Royal Marsden, a group of specialist cancer hospitals and centres in London.?

A spokeswoman for 바카라사이트 Royal Marsden said that 바카라사이트 charity trustees were ��delighted to have secured such a high-quality candidate��.

��Trustees were aware of 바카라사이트 decision by Durham University to accept a scholarship which benefited five Afghan women. This donation had no bearing on Mr McInnis��s appointment at The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity,�� she said.
